Perfect Dark (Xbox, PC, Game Pass)

It didn't have the "Goldeneye magic" nor the hardware to support its ambitions but I think it is better than good. Great.

Skarjo's right. James Bond shat all over Joanna Dark.

Zilnad, your fanboy is showing...put it away.

Perfect Dark campaign was pretty meh, but I played so so much of the split screen multiplayer with my friends. Bots of various difficulty, custom weapon sets. Marvellous.

I guess I best finally play the N64 via Rare Replay then?

Stick me in the "OMG its Perfect Dark! But its 1 great game from a long time ago and I dont really see how it fits in now and the people behind it are not involved so I dunno really" camp.

In terms of the overall look of the character, I think the last one was great.

She looks BADD ASSSSSS, MAAAAAN as the Americans would probably say. Just as a visual, that is a game I want to play. The name's Bond. Jane Bond.

Jane sounds a bit old fashioned, huh.

No to be modern and trendy she needs to have the sides of her head shaved and some sort of face tattoo.

It's not his first rodeo man.

I have to say, a more 'mature' PD might be good because I didn't really get on with the more 'goofy' elements of the original PD, that alien dude... :fp:

Before Doom 2016 released everyone* was saying there isn't a place for the "old fashioned non-regenerating health run and gun" style shooter anymore.

I think the branching-objective based FPS campaign could be updated in an equally refreshing way. But will it? I for one am excited to find out.

*literally everyone in the world

Give me different objectives on different difficulties or give me death.

This.

Forgot about the fact it had that (as did Goldeneye). They HAVE to bring that back.

And guns with 2 modes, that for me IS Perfect Dark, secondary fire is where the game got weird and interesting. Yeah some of the secondary modes were gooseberry fool but sometimes you had a gun that could be a sentry or a proximity mine or other cool gooseberry fool.

Just to kill (once again) rumours of an episodic game.

God, getting ever so slightly hyped and nostalgic.

To me that is more than anything else what defines Goldeneye/PD64. I think the best example of that might be Villa on PD, and how the first objective differed on each difficulty.
Agent: Snipe the guard to save the hostage
Special Agent: As above, but now there's multiple guards
Perfect Agent: You are the hostage!

Now that is a pretty tempting reason to get a Series X.

To be honest, I'm just glad Microsoft are investing in something that isn't Halo/GOW/Forza related. Hopefully, they can build this and Fable to be as strong IPs as their big 3.

I agree to an extent (still can't strawberry floating wait for Halo Infinite - and it's gonna be 6 years since Halo 5 when it launches) but having 23 studios is bound to bolster first party games for this gen at the very least.
